The Federal Aviation Administration has announced plans to limit air traffic by 10% at 40 major U.S. airports starting this weekend due to a shortage of air traffic controllers caused by the continuing government shutdown. This move, which follows a critical weekend of delays at airports, threatens to disrupt thousands of flights as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches. The government shutdown has now entered its sixth week, marking the longest in U.S. history, while bipartisan negotiations to resolve the issue continue to falter in the aftermath of recent elections.
